And, it quickly introduces to the site visitor to what they can do next, in a linear, understandable way, with what they've learned from their first visit. They are all action items. The segment also, probably, answers most of the visitor's first questions. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Maybe it could be the top left tile in your new grid of tiles? But, I'm open to suggestions too. </div><div><br></div><div>I also think we can learn from looking at the home pages of other dynamic languages' websites' home pages. but let me know if you've already done that. I could suggest some things from them if you wish. </div>
